A PostgreSQL database has mistakenly been deleted from a Linux server. Some binary files of that database have been recovered (maybe all of them but I'm not sure). Is it possible to recover the database from those binary files? If so, how?

If you don't have a backup, there is no real way in recovering the files. – DrColossos Dec 17 '11 at 17:40
Do you which files are missing now? does the database start up now? (yes) can you see some of the original tables with the psql \d command , or pgadmin3 ? – wildplasser Dec 17 '11 at 18:15
